Steel Market Conditions - Import Tariffs

From 1st July 2026 the UK Government will implement new steel import tariffs and quota restrictions that are expected to severely impact steel supply across the UK steel industry. This could affect supply of parts, pricing and delivery of components for everyone across many industries.

A petition has been started asking for an urgent review and adjustment of the proposed changes.

• The 60% quota reduction needs reducing

• The 50% tariff applied after quarterly quota exhaustion needs significant reduction

• The impacted commodity codes needs review & reduction

• Or a combination of some/all of the above
